What to Know Before Buying a Recliner

What to Know Before Buying a Recliner

 

If you're shopping for a recliner chair in Ireland, it's important to consider features, styles, and space requirements before making a decision. Here's a helpful guide to ensure you pick the best recliner for your needs.

 

1. Recliner Features

 

Recliners come with different operating mechanisms and comfort-enhancing options:

 

  •    
  • Manual vs Electric: Manual models like the AM Berkeley Recliner Chair are budget-friendly and reliable. Electric ones, like the Orion Power Recliner Fabric, offer smooth motion, power settings, and often extra features like memory functions and heated seats. 
  •    
  • Additional comforts: Look for swivel bases, built-in lumbar support, and pocket-sprung cushions for added comfort and durability.
  •  

 

2. Style & Upholstery

 

Your recliner should fit your room’s design aesthetic:

 

  •    
  • Neutral fabrics: The light-grey fabric of the AM Berkeley is versatile and easy to pair.
  •    
  • Leather or leather-match: Options like the Orion fabric recliner offer a sleek, premium look but may need more maintenance.
  •  

 

3. Space Requirements

 

Measure your space carefully—recliners need enough room to fully open:

  • Clearance: Allow 15–30 cm behind the chair for a manual recline, and 30–50 cm for electric models.
  • Chair dimensions: Check width, depth, and height specs on product pages before ordering.

4. Final Buying Tips

  • Choose a recliner that suits your lifestyle—manual if you want simplicity, electric if you want luxury.
  • Consider durability: tightly woven fabrics or quality leather can outperform cheaper options.
  • Test the chair in-store or ensure you can return or exchange it if it doesn’t fit your space.
